Many of us have read and enjoyed the popular books by JK Rowling, detailing Harry Potters adventures at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Many will have been both intrigued and compelled by the character at the heart of her third novel, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, namely Sirius Black.

Unfortunately, in the major motion picture soon to be released by Warner Bros, Gary Oldman, has been cast in this pivotal role. Whilst I cast no aspersions on his acting ability, it is clear to me, and a number of others, that he simply does not *look* the part.

JK Rowling takes time to stress that Sirius Black, though ravaged by his time in Azkaban, is nevertheless ruggedly handsome underneath. To quote from her most recent book;

He was very good-looking; his dark hair fell into his eyes with a sort of casual elegance neither Jamess nor Harrys could ever have achieved (OoTP page 565)

08 December 201343. Rick BarajasWhat's Claire trying to say? I can't tell who she's supporting but I'm pro-Johnny. And Johnny is wooooonderful! He's Sirius's mirror image! Listen to Rick, he knows all! Turn back now and vote JOHNNY!!!

06 November 201342. Tot MclaughlinI totally agree, I've been saying that Johnny should be Sirius for a LONG time! Two of my favorite people! And Johnny really could capture Sirius's personality and it would be fun to see. And he DOES look like Sirius, what were they talking about?! I've r

13 January 201337. The ArtistformerlyknownascHaven't read the books, but Johnny Depp is one of the most underrated actors of our time. It's about time that he went mainstream after making so many great indie films!

23 July 201232. Nataly EAfter Depp's acting style in Pirtaes of the Carribean, Sirius Black's role would be perfect for him, and he is perfect for it!

06 June 201231. Ashleigh FarrellAlthough I know they will never change it so far into filming, mostly because they already released the trailer(!!), seeing Depp as Sirius would make me the happiest girl in the world!!
